Lib Dem MP says Theresa May says the PM could get her deal over the line if she combined it with a referendum.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 29 March 2019 12:38 (seven years ago)

That needs to be a board description already. Feel sorry for the Americans logging on in a while and backreading older posts.

Which reminds me of the Frankensteiny proposals apparently being considered for Monday - the second Letwin day will apparently be new votes on 'new' ideas, rather than something with preferential votes - theoretical runners include Customs Union + Norway Plus, Customs Union with a Second Referendum, and "No Deal bit with also a Second Referendum", where the idea is that both hard remainers and hard leavers would go for it because they're bound to win the popular vote, right?

the International Marxist Group whose policies included

this is a bit of a category error when describing any formation within the larger UK fourth international heritage: its primary dynamic -- its key political culture -- is SPLITTISM, with the many many MANY warring splinters each brandishing its minutely different menu with regard to policy, permuting like the various ways you can order a fried breakfast in a caff (International Communist League with mushrooms = Alliance for Workers Liberty, International Communist League without mushrooms = Communist Party of Great Britain Provisional Central Committee etc*). Hoey being within this general penumbra doesn't really commit her strongly to *any* given line (with the point at which said line became a problem for her being the point she likely began to withdraw).

*(this is a fanciful example: all these groups exist but i have not actually researched the relevant lines on mushrooms as regards a fried breakfast)

A brief marriage ends. DUP learning today that many in ERG = Brexiteers first Unionists second. DUP = Unionists first and Brexiteers second. So DUP would countenance long extension / customs union over PM’s deal while ERG will support PM’s deal over long extension / customs union

mushrooms are disgusting and have no place in a fried breakfast, you are a traitor to the cause of breakfast and you are henceforth banished xp

mr greta t. gremlin (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 March 2019 12:55 (seven years ago)

It does seem quite a weasley line, it's from her wikipedia entry, but not sure where the person writing it is coming from.

Communism with mushrooms sounds like a good call, however I would go for Trotskyism with mushrooms fried in butter, not Stalinism with mushrooms fried in bacon fat.

taking the fun out of fungus

Why are people complaining about mushrooms in a fry when beans are the real crime?

gyac, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:00 (seven years ago)

guys i heard there's a risk the public could lose trust in British politics today

huge if true

xp what do you call a mushroom with a big penis? A fun guy

gyac, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:01 (seven years ago)

why is something happening xp

mr greta t. gremlin (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:01 (seven years ago)

Either something or nothing is happening, both with their own dangers

schrodinger's brexit

mr greta t. gremlin (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:04 (seven years ago)

I am prepared to put the skillet down once bg and gyac discuss the compatibilities of their aims - if they strengthen their hands by both hating mushrooms and beans then I'm prepared to sit down with them, because more delicious mushrooms and beans for me. In a spirit of welcoming they can have the grilled tomato, if that's what that is.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:06 (seven years ago)

You can keep the tomato, I’m only interested in rashers and black pudding.

I think I count about ten ride or die Tory Brexiteers still voting against this thing? It’s toast.

gyac, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:08 (seven years ago)

grilled tomatoes are fucking rank an' all tbh

mr greta t. gremlin (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:08 (seven years ago)

Mushroom hatred yet another thing cementing the transatlantic clone bond between bg and myself, I see.

elitists. any fried breakfast that doesn't include all these things is a bourgeois distraction

Lads, Leon is way ahead of us.

Leon is the latest London restaurant to adopt the Brexit lexicon to sell food. A “breakfast means breakfast” deal promises a breakfast pot and a coffee for £4.45, imploring hungry passers-by with a simple suggestion: “Let’s do a deal.”

gyac, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:14 (seven years ago)

Now I'm curious if anyone's selling one with all these AND ALSO filo, olives, halloumi, feta...

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:14 (seven years ago)

zoom in on Set 5 here and you'll notice that halloumi and sucuk have replaced some of the usual ingredients. a bloody disgrace. actually it's really nice

PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 29 March 2019 13:26 (seven years ago)

The shift over the last two years from the Leon breakfast costing £3.25 to £3.50 to £3.99 to £4.45 tells its own story of post-referendum purchasing power and corporate opportunism.

ShariVari, Friday, 29 March 2019 13:26 (seven years ago)

Everything I know about Irish culture and history comes from the cruise kidman vehicle farl and away
